Hi Cecilia,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. I’m so grateful for the military discounts offered at Walt Disney World, and am happy to help you make the most of your planning budget.
Aside from the military discounted theme park tickets and
resort rooms, my favorite military discount is the great pricing on
Memory Maker. My family loves looking back on the PhotoPass photos from our trips, and Memory Maker gives you unlimited downloads of PhotoPass and attraction photos. Make sure you ask your PhotoPass photographer for Magic Shots, which are photos with a sprinkling of pixie dust.
There are also some military discounts to be found at retail and dining locations in Disney Springs. I find it hard to keep track of which locations offer discounts or promotions, so I usually just ask when I’m there. If you have time to visit the Shades of Green ticket office, they have lots of information about military discounts around Walt Disney World and Orlando.
One more wonderful bit of military magic is the
Flag Retreat in Magic Kingdom Park. This moving ceremony honors our military veterans and is just lovely to watch. Check in at Town Hall to find out the time of the ceremony, which takes place at the flagpole in the Main Street, U.S.A entrance area.
Cecilia, I know you are going to love Disney’s Old Key West Resort, which has such a relaxing vibe. Be sure to make time for a meal at Olivia’s Café, which has scrumptious food all day long. Have fun planning, and please visit us again with any further questions!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
